Little Buddha:
Om Mani Padme Om
Om Mani Padme Om
Jade Fire:
Good evening children.
Good evening Sir.
In today's meeting, we will stand by, and it will be conducted by one who you
will recognize in the weeks to come as 'the little Buddha'. If required during
the meeting we will answer the questions, but today the main meeting will be
taken by 'the little Buddha'.
The little Buddha – (with a smiling, child-like manner and a cheerful
voice)
We are new to this. My work has for so long been restricted to the celestial
realms. Thank you for permitting me to be with you all.
Thank you Sir.
You may wonder why this great Master introduced me as 'the little Buddha'. My
celestial work began, and is on, under the guidance of the 'Enlightened One'. I
am, for all the celestials, known as 'the little Buddha' because I never leave
his side.
What would you wish me to talk to you about?
Sir, could you tell us a little more about yourself?
My last incarnation was so many earth years ago that I do not have the number to
give you. But I always took birth and died as a child. You may wonder why.
Because although I had to come to do my task upon earth, I never wished to leave
my 'Enlightened One' for very long. I came from his lap and into his lap I
returned. My enlightened one. My spirit therefore has very child-like qualities.
And they also call me the 'little Buddha', because in my soul character, there
is no anger, there is no fear. Being always with my 'Enlightened One' I have
become the love that he constantly emits. If you wish to visualise me
physically, I can give you a picture that is not accurate, but it will at least
give you some knowledge, some clue about who I am. Picture a small, short,
plump little boy with the hair tied up in a huge knot, playing with all of
nature, sitting close to the feet of my 'beloved one'. So that is who I am.
What more can I tell you?
Is the 'Enlightened One' just now with you Sir?
He is always with me. But no, he is not in your midst. My work in the celestial
realms has so far been, bringing about harmony with all of nature. That is why I
said I play with nature. I am amused to put the pieces here and there and to
change them around. But now my 'beloved one' wants me to grow up. He wants me to
give all my knowledge and all my love to you. He chose this group because there
are so many in this group, who are such small children, and I can be happy here.
Don't call me 'Sir', because then I look at the great Master. Call me 'little
Buddha'.
I'd like to ask a question. It is to do with 'Help'. How does one help
somebody and do we help with our opinions or should we wait till
someone asks us for help?
That is a question I can answer very easily. Help has four parts to it. It
has 'Honour', it has 'Education', it has 'Love' and it has 'Principle'. Let us
take each part separately. When someone asks you for your help, you must 'honour'
the person's need. Unless the person was in some trouble, was feeling some
sorrow, the person would not come to you. You must 'honour' that 'need'. We use
the word 'honour'. When you honour that person's need, . . .(to Sohrab) Little
one "Am I heard?"
Yes Sir, certainly you are . . .Sorry, yes 'little Buddha' you are heard.
When you honour the need, you do not try to judge the actions of the person.
You accept the person with ALL its being. And what you really honour, is the
Soul. You honour the soul and you honour all the 'free will options' and
'decisions' made by that soul. When you honour you never try to 'control'. So
we come to the second part of 'help'- 'education'. When you have recognised the
need, then you try however you can, whatever way you can, to 'educate'. What do
you educate about? You tell that person ALL that you know. You hear his pain.
You dry the tears and then very gently, very slowly, you 'educate'. But do not
educate by giving an opinion. Educate by being completely without opinion. Only
tell what you know. Share your knowledge, without any selfishness. Open it up,
so that the person can take all your knowledge and if that person does not
require some of it, don't force it. Then we come to the third aspect: 'Love'. Do
you know how my 'beloved one' loves? He loves silently. He loves completely.
If you stand before my 'beloved one', you will feel yourself being lifted up,
only by the power of his love. The love makes you forget who you are. The love
makes you forget that you exist. That is love! Yes, your love may not be that
wide, but it can be. When you educate and if you educate with arrogance you
cannot then help any more. Educate with love. Honour with love. Open your heart
out completely to one who requires your help. And when you open your heart, you
will know what kind of help to give. That is a very important part of help,
which brings to the fourth… Principles. There are many principles of help.
Principle of sharing and giving, principle of forgiving, principle of shelter
and protection and principle of merely 'being'. In this principle you do not do
anything. You just 'be' there. You forget your ego and you decide not to be
yourself at all. But for that brief time to merge yourself so completely with
the one in pain that the one in pain feels that "I am not small and helpless any
more but I have become bigger. I have expanded". That is the principle of merely
'being'. And then there is one more principle that is very, very difficult. But
sometimes it is required. The principle of 'letting be'. Sometimes the help that
is required is not something that can be seen and touched. All that the person
requires is to know that you are there if help in another way is required. That
is all, and so you just wait and 'let it be'. You may try to educate, but the
love in your heart tells you that no education is needed at this time, that the
person does not invite it,
then fall upon the principle of 'let it be'. But don't make that mistake that
many do. 'Let it be' does not mean becoming indifferent. 'Let it be' does not
mean not caring. Remember, the first 3 aspects must be present. Only then can
you come to the correct fourth aspect. And when you get the correct fourth
aspect, you have helped completely.
When help is NOT asked, then what should you do? Then what you can do is to merely make a loving offer, but then remember the first principle - honour. And honour whatever answer you receive. That is how you help.
I want to ask, how does one 'transcend' human emotions like jealousy, sadness, without being detached from that person?
Never be detached from another soul. That makes your own soul very lonely. And
then if you are lonely, you will not be joyful like I am. So don't detach from
the soul. Detach from judgement. Detach from opinion. All your emotions arise
here in your mind. Only one emotion arises in your heart and that is Love. It is
so easy to transcend all other emotions. The power of love is able to do it so
easily. But do you know, my dear, dear one, none of you live in the love I do.
That is why you find it difficult. I live in love all the time! Do
you want to be like me?
Yes.
Then you have to come and live with me. And you CAN. Do you know why I am able
to live in love? Because I am not scared of it. You are scared. You are all
scared. Don't be scared to love. Love is very, very powerful. But do you know
that Fear is sometimes even more powerful. A little fear will close your heart.
And then what YOU think is love, is attraction, fondness, affection, caring and
sometimes lust. But it is not love. So first you have to learn to love and then
no other emotion will be present. None at all.
Little Buddha, you just said "Come and live with me". Can you tell us how we
can come please ?
Come ! Come !
I am living in love and I am inviting you. You have to take my invitation. But
you can't come with fear.
With Love?
You don't know what love is. How will you come with it? But don't come with fear. That you know.
How does one make the change physically . . . how does one actually do it?
One hears all these things and it all makes a lot of sense, but when you
actually come down to doing it, how do you do it?
Because they make ‘sense’! You can't do it, because they make 'sense'. Love has
no sense. You call it foolish. And it is! It has no sense. No sight, no smell,
no touch. No wisdom. It only knows itself. And for you to live like me - you
have to forget all sense. Can it be done? Very difficult. But you
can start.
(At this point, another very, very powerful Master came in :)
Son, you can start the process of living in a state of constant love. Every
time a situation arises where you are faced with all the other emotions that
arise in your mind, you will have to 'detach' from them by a physical,
conscious, deliberate, free-will effort. Do not start with the larger
situations in your life, because those are so deeply entrenched in your very
being that it will not be possible to bring about a response that is completely
strange to you in those situations. But throughout the day, you have situations
that, children are minor, little minor irritations, frustrations, small moments
of annoyance. Those are the moments you start with. At first even with a
conscious desire to do this detachment practice you will fail, again and again.
But if you truly wish to pursue do not permit these small failures to stop your
decision. Every small moment of frustration can be turned effectively into a
moment of love, by JUST THE ACKNOWLDGEMENT that ‘I feel this irritation; I feel
it as the PHYSICAL part of me that exists. This is not an emotion; it is only a
pathway has been habituated to follow.’ ACKNOWLEDGE this and RECOGNIZE it. And
then DETACH. The detachment requires another acknowledgement. The
acknowledgement is: 'THAT I AM TRULY A SOUL. The PHYSICAL PART of me IS ONLY
THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS N O T IMPORTANT.’ ACKNOWLEDGE the
soul and RECOGNISE IT. And then all else will follow.
(The medium started coughing a lot and the meeting ended here as she was
overwhelmed by the rapid changes of high energies and could not continue.)
